Shoes...

Do they really matter that much? I'm just using skate shoes for squating because I remember reading somewhere that the flat soles would be the best. I switched from running shoes because I didn't find them comfortable.

someone in another thread was suggesting chuck taylors
prob b/c of the flat soles.

if they feel stable and you're not competing in PL or olympic lifting then you're probably good to go.

i say that because if they're stable, the worst that will happen is they'll absorb some of the force you exert by compressing. chucks and oly shoes aren't too cushiony, that's part of why they work well for squatting.
